Folks:
Sorry, I accidentally sent the email before finishing it. Here’s the complete message.
But perhaps I’ve solved it. I only need to put the name of the “feature” stack in the pollActions handler. Anyway, I still have my question.
I’m trying to implement a structure where I can simply add script only stacks that seamlessly add capability to my app. To do this, I have all of the “feature” stacks in a given folder, and when I initialize the app, I start using all of the “feature” stacks. Then I want to initialize all of them, so I send a message that gets passed in each “feature” stack.
I do, in each “feature” stack (which doesn’t give me the answer I want):
on pollActions
put the short name of the current stack into myAction (I want the name of the stack that contains this script)
dispatch "actionsList" to cd "Opening" of stack "CP_Main" with myAction
pass pollActions
end pollActions
In the main stack, I have:
local actionsList
on actionsList tList
put tList&cr after actionsList
end actionsList
My question:
How do I get the name of the script only stack that holds the “Feature” code? The above code gives me the name of the main stack, which is not useful for my purposes.
Best,
Bill
